The Manipulator I can manipulate the emotions of anyone who lets me. I will make you hurt, make you cry, make you laugh and sigh. But my words don't affect him.

But now that I have, I can't stay away. I'm mesmerized by her smile, by her eyes, and the way she moves. The way she undresses... I'll keep watching and waiting. Until I can make her mine. And once she is, I'll never let her go. Not even when she begs me to. While not required, it is highly suggested to read the novella, Satan's Affair, first. Author's This book ends on a cliffhanger.

There's a reason I don't read incomplete duets or series because then I'm sad when I can't read the next book. I went against my better judgment with this book and I have no regrets (okay I have some because I hated waiting for book two) because I loved this story. The great news is the second book is out now, so you don't have to wait if you're reading this review! I've never read anything remotely similar to this book and I don't know that I ever will. This was my first time reading something truly as dark as this. I've read other books with heavy triggers, but this book was different. I read Satan's Affair beforehand (highly recommend reading that first) and I wasn't entirely sure what this book was going to be about. I knew a past murder, stalking, and love were involved, but that was it. If you had told me one of my top reads from 2021 would've been a stalker romance, I would've laughed in your face. Not only is the romance good, and the spice is off the charts hot, but the overarching story is just so good. Adeline is an author who moves into her grandmother's old home after she passes away. Adeline was close to her grandmother and felt a pull to come back to the home that always fascinated her. While living in the house, she discovers family secrets that have been buried for a long time, secrets involving her great grandmother. Her great grandmother was stalked, but here's the kicker? Her great grandmother had a spicy affair with her stalker! Adeline's great grandmother was murdered and she works with her best friend to figure out who did it. While trying to solve this mystery, Adeline finds herself in the same place as her great grandmother did with a hot stalker. Zade is a leader of a vigilante group that's only mission is to bring down trafficking rings and the horrible people that run them. And not just any type of trafficking rings. Rings that are linked to very powerful people in the country and the world. Zade is determined to get as many women and children to safety as he can. He puts himself in the line of fire to save the lives of the innocent people taken by these rings. He sounds like an ideal guy right? Well, did I mention he's also Adeline's stalker? Zade stumbles across Adeline by accident and it's a wrap for him. He wants to make her his and there's nothing that's going to stop him. Now I'm not saying he's still not an ideal guy (I do love him), but let's just say these are two VERY opposite qualities. On one hand, you have this man trying to save women and child, but on the other hand he's stalking a woman. Many would argue he can't be both a good and terrible guy at the same time, but I think this book begs to differ. I personally loved Adeline and thought she was a dynamic heroine. She was sassy, fun, and radiated fierceness. She does stand up for herself throughout the book, even to Zade, although standing up to him doesn't do much. I liked that we get her inner thoughts on Zade as their relationship plays out. I like watching her slowly open up to him and trust that he'll protect her, which seems like the opposite thing a stalker would do. One of my favorite things was when Adeline told her friend about one of her spicy encounters with Zade and that he "took her soul". I couldn't be more jealous of her, trust me. Based on the cliffhanger, book two isn't going to be an easy ride for Adeline, but I know she's going to be okay. Someone as fierce as her work her way through any situation, even if it takes some time. I cannot explain how much I love Zade. I know, I know, he's a stalker. Here's the thing: I just don't care. He really had me contemplating if getting stalked is that bad (it is, but let's ignore that). I loved how he was written to be so multilayered. H.D. Carlton knew what she was doing when she wrote him this way. He's meant to challenge everything you know and make you wonder if he's really all that bad. His qualities are so opposite of each other that he left me spinning so much throughout this book. I would take pauses while reading and say out loud, "Am I actually into this man?" or "I'm in love with this unhinged man. Am I good?" I laughed way too many times when doing this because I just know how people would react in my life if I told them how much I love Zade. The mouth on Zade is UNMATCHED. God, that man says the wildest stuff, but it's so unbelievably hot. And the things he does with his hands to Adeline? Where do I sign up??? I love his love for Adeline and I can't wait to see what he does in book two knowing how this book ended. The writing in this book is beautiful and so good. H.D. Carlton is talented and it shows in this book. I enjoyed the different storylines taking place and how they all connected to one another. I thought it was interesting to see Adeline live a similar life to her great grandmother. I think getting to read her great grandmother's thoughts on her own personal stalked helped Adeline in her own way. This book is just so so so good! I cannot recommend it enough. I do STRONGLY encourage everyone consider the triggers before reading. I look forward to book two!

I have found that stalker tropes is 1 of my favorites and this is my new found favorite book absolutely loved it. this was such an amazing read I could not put it down so much it was happening. I do recommend you take cautioned to the trigger warnings in the book because of what it does pertain to. Luckily the main character doesn't actually do anything severely bad except for just the stalking of a young woman that he's become obsessed with. What are the things that I really like about the book was that at the end of each chapter was a page of Gigi's diary that you get to read and It's so interesting to read because it gives you more of a connection to her. Now despite some of the heavy detail and what it deals with, its actually pretty funny, the banter between Zade and Addy is hilarious and I absolutely love them. So the story follows a young indie author named Adeline or Addy for short, She moves into her grandmother's house and from there she starts experiencing weird things one being an unknown stalker that suddenly appears. Her stalker Follows her, watches her, breaks into her house, leaves her messages and roses letting her know he is watching her, and even kills for her. Around the same time she starts uncovering secrets about her family involving her great grandmother's murderer. Wanting to protect yourself from her stalker she has a security system installed But what she doesn't know is that her stalker owns the security system and he uses that to watch her constantly. We have 32 year old man named Zade, Who goes by the name Z. And Is in charge of a major organization that deals with saving young girls and women from trafficking and other sorts. He comes across a young author in a book store and from there has an obsession a wanting to possess her. He refers to Addy as his little mouse, and she him kitty cat. At first hes stalking/ watching, then leaves her several little messages or roses for gifts. Breaking into her home drinking her grandfathers whiskey. Around the same time he is also dealing with a Situation involving a cult and how to take them down. The more his obsession with her becomes the more he wants to claim her. As time goes by Zades stalking becomes more when he starts approaching Addy. After Reading Gigi's diaries Addy learns that her great grandmother also had a stalker and that her great grandmother fell in love with her stalker. As she starts to get close to her own stalker Zade, She wonders if she too will fall in love with him but sometimes hoping she doesn't, realizing that she and her great grandmother a more alike than she likes to admit it. Addy realizes that Zade is not a threat to her and the 2 start getting closer even more. To the point that she must have been near him constantly. When both Zade and Addy find out that she's been targeted since the beginning by the same cult that Zade is trying to take down, he does everything he can to protect her. The night Zade infatrates The cult to be "recruited" thinks the plans is going accordingly but soon find that it was a set up. At the same time Daddy receives messages from her best friend wanting her to come over. On her was Daddy is then tailed by a van that suddenly runs her off the road.

This is definitely a Cat & mouse... stalker OMG book, if you love dark & deprieve this is the book for you. It all start in 1945's when Adeline Reilly a successful write great grandmother Gigi was murdered and the case was a cold case. Adeline inherited her grandmothers beautiful but haunting Victorian home called Pasrsons Manor. It was always said that Parson Manor was haunted because of all the murders that happened at the manor, but this didn't scare Addie off it actually made her want the Manor even more. Addie had fond memories of her grandmother and 2nd was she loved scarey scenes she actually had a series erotic kink the more scarey the better. Her favorite night was halloween. Our girl Addie during one of her booksignings found herself being notice by one of the scariest badass/villian/anti heroes/saviors and lets just say he was capitivated and decided she was his. Hmmmm what does that really mean, he stalked Addie, watched her from afar and through her windows, just like her great grandmother Gigi stalker in 1945. Z (Zade) is a vigilante, he hunted bad guys, who sex trafficked children & women hunting down & killing Pedophiles. He's self taught and became the best hacker and now he has his eyes set on Adeline. The very people he free from stalking in a world he hated, now he is in the Shadows stalking and laying claims to Adeline and making Addie his. Zade always like staying in the Shadow and always love making traps for his little mouse, little did Zade know his little mouse loved being scared and hunted. This was an awesome read
